Hello, I understand your concern towards your mom's health. Her risk level depends on the method that is going to be used, some methods like the use of laser will not need a general anesthesia. The use of general anesthesia will increase the risk of a complication, but if her blood pressure is well under control, she is unlikely to face any complication. Best regards
